OK. I need some one to explain exactly how liberal policies destroyed families.
I heard a claim that public assistance chase the male parent out of the home--how exactly?
I really need some clarity on this claim. Is there some special rule to receiving that penalizes families with both parents? Is there some other argument?
Serious replies, please
In 1965, prior to the war on poverty and massive expansion of the welfare state, the illegitimate birth rate was less than 8%. Today, it's over 40%. When those that have children they can't afford know the government will force those of us not the baby daddy to support her kids while doing little/nothing to the actual sperm donor, they could care less. It enables having bastard children to be a money maker.
Whether the parents are married or single makes a difference. The daughter of my wife's friend had a bastard baby. The baby mama and baby daddy decided not to get married because as single, they received more combined in welfare than they would have received had they married.
Works the same way with taxes. A single parent can claim head of household and get a bigger standard deduction than if they claim single despite there being absolutely no difference in the situation.
